    Dancing Chocobo Naps

    Do you often take naps?

    It's funny because when I was a teenager and in my 20s I wasn't huge into them, I figured I could suck up being tired and do better things with my time. But now that I'm creaky and old and in my 30s I've come to appreciate them a lot more. Sleeping is totally a great use of time! Sign me up for naptime.

    I like the experience of napping and the feeling of comfy naps, but I don't like the time it takes or the fact I often wake up from naps with a headache,

    Never been a fan. I tend to wake up feeling groggy and more tired than I was before I took the nap, and it messes with my sleeping pattern which is brutal because of my early starts at work. The only time I will nap is if I am sick.

    Naps are the only reason I get out of bed in the morning.

    Yeah, I'm the same as Pheesh. It totally buggers up my night sleep. If I nap in the day, even for like 20 mins, I'll be up till 2am guaranteed.

    I'm with Pheesh and Bubba, and I find it a waste of time. Only time I nap is if I'm sick or super hungover, both of which are rare. I hope I'm never in a situation where I have to nap in the day to function. Right now I can sleep for 6 hours a night and function perfectly fine, and I'm very happy with that.

    I have napped before, and while I appreciated the rest when I really needed it, I do agree with Pheesh and Crop; naps end up making me more tired in the long run.

    Dark_valentine, why are you not at the penny Dreadfull thread? D: (im so lonely over there)


    I sometimes take an (unwilling) nap at work.
    During my break I sit in the office with 2 (maybe even 3) sleeping cats on my lap and I just join them.
    Sleep is contagious. But sleeping in a chair is not very comfy.

    and yeah.. it often doesnt make things any better and makes me feel even more tired.

    I do love taking naps. When I had to stay on schedule for school though I can't take them because it'll mess up my sleep schedule. But for summer break? Nap when I'm tired

    Sharky naps before bed which is just... which is just odd to me.

    Does he treat sleeping like he treats main meals? He has a nap starter, then sleeps for the main course?

    It actually makes an odd sort of sense. I'm so groggy after a nap I could easily fall back to sleep.

    Allllllll the time.

    I never needed an afternoon nap as a toddler. Then when I was at school and college I was in a rountine so naps happened but they were rarer.

    Then when I graduated the government had finished chewing so it spat me out while saying GET A F**KING JOB YOU LOSER while its employers treated me like crap.

    Then forget to hire me all that much....so yeah.......napping is all I have.

    In fact my whole sleeping pattern is based on a series of naps. I always have broken sleep.
